The Passo Giau is not a climb to start from the bottom. I don’t mean that you should start halfway up, but rather that you should start some way from the base of the climb near Selva di Cadore (italy). Give yourself a run at it. Warm the legs, open up the lungs.  It is a perfect E-bike for the roads.  It is the new tendacy for remplacing an old 10 spped cycling bike of the 90's.  Thank's to the assiantce of a pwoerful electric motor, this e-bike ride will get you there more than "on time".  the structure and design is made for you,  for the one that has to travel long  distances everyday.  It is the type of E-bike in major compettion in Europe at the moment.
